EMKOELABCelebrating Creative Agency
We are EMKOELAB—a New Orleans-born music and multi-disciplinary project that unites diverse artists to share their craft. We emphasize the collaborative process that shapes our songs and the creative elements that surround them– from visual art and video to animation, dance, and mediums beyond. At McKinley Studios, our home base, we create space for exploration, where art forms intersect, and artists of all kinds interact, pushing the boundaries of what's possible through collaboration. In New Orleans, collaboration, culture, and community are gears that all turn together.
Project One: SHOW ME YOU LOVE IT
We’re from New Orleans, where we wake up to make music, dance, and on many occasions pop off with some Popeyes and hit all the sides. "Show Me You Love It" blends the sounds of the city’s bounce, funk, and dance culture. What began as a fun freestyle along Bayou St. John became a big sound served up with an original dance by TWERK NOLA, a rapping rooster, and so much more. We look forward to sharing how it all came to be and providing a behind-the-scenes look and listen from the EMKOELABorators that made this project a success.
